Teresa, maybe you could put a link to this moderation policy (with or without comments thread) at the top of the Boing Boing page.
Or, as some mailing lists do, post it periodically, once a month or so.
Taxonomy of regional pizza styles
January 25, 2008 11:51am
Gobo @ #17 -- by "Ohio Valley" he means the Steubenville/Weirton area. People in this area seem to think this is the only part of the valley that ever uses that term. (The Toronto referred to in his comment thread is Toronto, Ohio, a small town just north of Steubenville and not to be confused with the one where Cory lives. I've been to both. Heck, I've eaten pizza in both.)
I'm originally from the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh (only 55 miles east of Weirton, where I live now) and find the local pizza heavy and greasy. But it's good in its own way, now and then. And buying by the slice -- the local custom -- is a good idea. The slices tend to be small, too, and the pepperoni is usually good. Pepperoni is *the* topping, by the way; you can have either it or just cheese. The pizzas where I grew up were more your average Midwestern style.
I read this post just before lunch and got so croggled by all the various styles of pizza mentioned that I had a hot dog instead! Then I came back to eat in the staff lounge and my coworkers were talking about just this subject -- pizza, and how it differs in different areas. One person told about when she and her husband bought pizza in Little Italy in New York City. She preferred the Steubenville style. "It's all what you're used to," was the consensus.

I can't believe it's not butter!
Seriously, though, that is way cool.
